Since SCREEN-L is archived I would take this one step further (since
the purpose of citing is to allow the reader to locate the document
for him/her self) I always use the URL. In citing Jeremy's posting today
I would add:
URL: gopher://ua1vm.ua.edu:70/00/Local ua1vm Listserv
Archives/SCREEN-L/LOG9507B/SCREEN-L.LOG9507B.G.855
And I hope that I haven't included a typo! :-)
